im not one to condone piracy, but google will help you........

there's free alternatives to the widgets you get on LP plus. Colorize Widgets, agenda widget, big faces. the only thing you'd be missing is resizing widgets..
don't steal apps

Agreed.
Don't steal.
Developers will just stop developing and then we'll all have to switch to iPhones........ *shudder*

Sorry, but that's a lame excuse. My 15 year old son has a debit card (and sometimes buys apps). If nothing else (and there are tons of ways to get a debit card), you could get a gift card and use it to buy apps. If you feel you must steal apps that cost less than $10, then you have more problems than just not having a credit card.

I disagree. The LP dev is stupid to only allow paypal payments. I would have purchased it a long time ago if it wasn't paypal only.
I am NOT supporting warez here. Just my $.02 on the paypal only thing. I believe LPP would be used more if it didn't require paypal. At the point that a dev is circumventing the market, whats the market for?

whoa whoa whoa.. speaking out of turn here. Not all devs live in places where they are allowed to use google checkout, or to put paid apps in the market.
Don't call the guy stupid just because of where he lives. His country (Uruguay if memory serves) makes it impossible for him to use the market for a paid app. Paypal is his only viable option.
And pirating any apps is completely pathetic, but of course, it will happen. I wish I didn't see it in forums and threads on sites where developers and consumers so regularly go to support android. But, stupidity will be stupidity...
Furthermore, I'm a little confused by the way the author gets apps from the market. you can't bill to carrier, you have to use a credit card (unless you're on ATT, and even then, a month ago you couldn't). Does your mom buy all your apps? If that's the case, they why can't she buy you this one?

With T-Mobile you can charge your account as well! To be honest OP pay for the app!!! Support the developer!! Borrow a friends card! But don't take the slimy way out and look for a free pass! What if the shoes was on the other foot??

Maybe the author doesn't normally buy paid stuff. I have been on Android for years, and I have only purchased ONE app. I have donated to a few devs that make roms, but I typically don't buy apps. I WAS going to purchase LPP, but once I found out I have to deal with paypal, I quit. It's not worth it for me to go through transferring money to paypal, (3 days) and then making a payment to LPP, only to wait until the paypal payment has been recieved (another day or two) just to get a $2.99 home replacement.

Visa. MasterCard. Go to just about any bank, grocery store, or variety store and purchase one. With PayPal, you don't even need a CC. Just open a checking account.
BTW - I agree paying with PayPal is not the best option. I had a bad experience with an app and I will never do that way again. However, I still will not steal the app.

Umm you don't have to actually pay with your PayPal account, they just do the processing, you can pay with whatever credit/debit card you want. I don't even have a PayPal account and I bought the app just fine using my debit card.

PayPal can be used, can't it? I think these developers work extremely hard and it's difficult, even being broke, to use their fantastic programs and not compensate them for their time and effort.
Think of the position you're in... if your valuable time and hard work went without reward and you got no return on your investment, you'd be upset as well. It's just a couple of bucks here and there. You can EASILY find these on Google but please, don't do it, man.
I'm all for warez when someone is just going to be used once or if I'm uncertain if I'm going to pay full price for something. But if something is honestly worth the money, even my cheap ass will buy it. This world is ****ty enough. Don't go ripping off developers.

I do this sometimes but if the app is not in usd, your forbidden to charge it to your tmobile acct.

I would like to pay for apps, but when I try pay in the market it tells me to put credit card details in and won't accept my debit card. Anyone know how to solve this?

[Q] [Req] Free Lockscreen Replacement App

Could someone make a free alternative to WidgetLocker? Preferably for the Evo.
I'm kinda surprised there isn't a good one out there. Just wondering if anyone had the know-how and time to make one.

dude, you seriously can't afford two dollars to support the creator? I mean it takes these guys a decent amount of time to create these apps, and they put effort into responding to forum feedback...c'mon, skip your morning coffee and say 'thank you'.

Yeah, it's a few bucks. WidgetLocker is top notch, especially with all of the awesome themes out there. If you don't have a credit card, you can use a Visa gift card with the Market/Google Checkout. When you get the card, read the info and find the website used to register the card. When you register the card, make sure you put the correct information as it will need to match your shipping info linked to Google. Then go to buy the app, put the card info and shipping info in the form, and voila! You can now support developers!
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

Yeah, its a wonderful app. So 2 dollar is reasonable and worth it

I agree. Developing an app takes time and dedication. I say, 2 dollars for an app that good is a very great.deal.
You can opt for simple lock screen. It's.in the market.

{Off topic} Why do people pirate apps?

It really annoys the hell out of me when people like to do so called *cracking apps* when they don't even know that is. Cracking means modifying the source code illegally and using the app for free which would otherwise cost money. You ARE NOT cracking it. You are STEALING it. The developers are working day-night just to make couple of cents but you on the other hand pirating it.
Just go outside and have a deep thought about it. You are willing to spend $50 easily on shopping, whereas, you don't even pay a dime for all the hard work the dev do it for you. It is just stupid. If you found a dollar on the road you wouldn't pick it, but where it comes buying $1 app you google it day and night all day long. I am not a dev but I do understand how it's like. So please please for god's sake stop piracy.

Go go sopa! or not?

Its because they are cheap and don't understand or care that it takes a lot of time and money to develop apps.
In many cases of free apps I wish there was a way to donate to the developer as I hate using something for free that I feel I should pay for.

There is already an off topic thread, why did you create a new one? It's just cluttering up the forum, and unnecessary, since your subject is a small matter and not worth a thread.

Don't think this is an issue in the large scale. I don't know anyone who would waste his time searching for a cracked app instead of paying one or two bucks for the few apps you want and need to pay for.

To test for a greater time than 15 mins would justify a bit of searching. PowerAMP got it right back in the day. Something like 2 weeks full version trial then you must purchase. Still the best buy I've had on Android.

If you really wanted the app, you would have got the free version. I am sure that you looked for something like " how to get paid apps for free?"

There no access to credit card nor charge cards or whatever cards. So they have to use cracked apps.

For me the situation is quite different.
I have been stealing apps (yea, i don't affraid to admit it, but im not brave of it). Then i decided to start buying them and supporting developers (bought Cerberus and couple other).
It's maybe my problem, but im affraid to provide my credit card numbers to websites such as google wallet to let them pull the money they want. The paypal here was solution, i could charge my paypal account, so they didn't knew anything about my credit card and it was safe. BUT then wild Google Wallet appeared and there's no such option. No money transfer, no transfer from paypal, i have to provide numbers on back of my credit card. If someone in google goes mad, with the provided cc numbers he can pull as much money as he want. I know it sounds riddiculous, but I like safety. I can't relly on their good will, that thay won't abuse it.
So i stopped buying apps, as there is no way to put money on my account.

I use cracked apps just to check if they are worth the money. I treat them as demo. If I like it I buy it.Cheers

I have no problem purchasing apps, but I do know that aside from the credit card issue, many games and apps just aren't available on playstore in many countries, these are great apps and games and I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be available everywhere, maybe we should look to the causes of many people's pirated apps.

I have to use Market ebabler, and droidVPN so I could view all of the apps on play store.
This is insane!
I've spand 100-200$ for android apps.
I'm with android since 1.5 back in 2009.
Some apps are simply overpriced and I have to find a solution does the app deserve the money, and for that reason I google it to find it for free, just for testing.

There are such things as prepaid credit cards. Just a hint. As an alternative some markets (not Google Play) accept also paypal etc.

Google Play with paypal, at least 20% of us will start buying apps.
I dont use many apps on my android, so buying few apps is not a problem for me. bank in in about RM10 ( 3USD+- ) on my account, and bought apps. Im a student thou. Other than that, I often buy iPad apps, even thou I jailbreak it. Jailbreak for me is only for tweaking. I even bought paid cydia apps. Same goes to my android, root/unknown source/s-off or what so ever, I dont support piracy.
Have the kaching to bought devices/gadgets but dont have the kaching to buy apps? what say you.

What are the freebies that come with the S7?

Every year I seem to remember they give a bunch. 3-month subscription to some magazine, 100GB of OneDrive space, a game, that kind of stuff.
Couldn't find anything searching.
Or maybe they aren't doing that since they are giving away those VRs.

i've read you get a bunch of free apps and stuff to use with VR, so that's cool.

Well with T-Mobile they are giving the VR and 6 games for it and also a year of Netflix.
Verizon I hear is giving a choice between a VR and a Gear S2.
I'm not sure about the rest though but as you can see it may be slightly different depending on where you get the phone.

About that free 6 month youtube premium

I pre ordered pixel 3 a couple of days ago. I live in korea so i asked my friend to send it to me when he got delivered. Anyway, i saw the terms yesterday and the terms were weird. You can have the 6 month trial only when you are completely new to youtube premium. And also only for US residents.
So here's the questions
Is there really no way to get the youtube premium unless making new account? (Im currently using youtube premium)
Will the youtube premium 6 month trial won't work if i start the pixel in korea?
Im going to LA in January so if i wait until january, would it be possible to claim 6 month trial?
Sorry for the bad english though...

It is my understanding that you will need a new account to activate your 6 month trial. As for your activation, you will probably need to activate it from the US since I will also guess that Google has a way to tell where the IP that activated it came from and I think that if it doesn't originate in the US, they may use that as an excuse to not honor it. I'm not sure if the activation has to happen from the same email account where it was purchased through the Google store. Also, in January it will be too late to activate the trial since, from what I've read, it has to be activated before December 31 at 11:59 PM. Hope this helps. Maybe your friend can activate it for you before sending it.

This is bogus if true. I had a free month trial of YouTube music before, so now I don't get the free 6-months? Google is getting so damn nitpicky about all of their offers. They need to relax a bit and reward long-time customers. I'm not creating a new Google account to get 6 months of their crappy music service. Maybe if they had a cleaner merge with Google Play Music I'd be willing to pay for it.
